Top 5 Gold/Bronzy Eyeshadows !

I love a good gold/bronzy eye look ! Gold/Bronzy shadows have to be what I definitely lean most towards in the neutral family. Today's post features my current top 5 gold/bronzy shadow picks !

From R to L - TF Creme Brulee, UD Baked, MAC Indianwood, Maybelline, MAC Woodwinked

Too Faced Creme Brulee - Creme Brule definitely has to be one of my favorite shades in the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette. Its a pale gold shimmery shadow. On my lids it looks more like a shimmery champagne shade. 

Urban Decay Baked - Out of the lot being mentioned here, Baked is a proper full on gold shadow. If you like gold shadows, then this is a beautiful one to check out.

EOTD - Everyday Shimmery Eyes feat Dior Amber Diamond

Today's EOTD is an easy Everyday Shimmery Eye. I finally got my hands on Dior Amber Diamond last year and am currently enjoying it. It can be used as highlighter, eyeshadow and a blush as well. 

I am loving wearing Dior Amber Diamond on my eyes. On my eyes, it looks like a gorgeous champagney light gold shade, perfect for everyday, makes a polished n pretty EOTD with a brown gel eyeliner. I am enjoying wearing this a lot on my eyes as generally champagne shades look ghostly on me, while this looks warm n shimmery.

EOTD : Gold and Olives !!

Two of my very fav colors for a smokey eye are gold n olive (apart from all the brights like blues, purples,etc). These are my go to colors when I don't want to bother myself, with trying out something. I have an EOTD today with these colors and so the name :). This look is perfect for a night out. I think this look is good to go along with the Indian traditional wear as well as with the western wear.


IMO, you can rock it as much with a LBD as with a Anarkalai/saree/lehnga because of the colors used .. Esp with all the festivals around Dussehra, Karva Chauth, Diwali we all want to get dressed up :) so without any further ado, lets go straight to the pics..
